Coloradoans Don’t Regret Legalization; Or Intend to Light Up

A Quinnipiac University poll of Colorado showed that a majority of voters continued to support marijuana legalization. More than half of the state has already tried pot, but only about 15 percent of voters said they will partake when it stores open next year. The poll’s margin of error of is +/- 2.9 percentage points.

Enthusiasm for legal weed is strongest among those who already consume the most of it. About 35 percent of young adults aged 18-25 said they’d give legal pot a whirl next year, according to poll results.

Currently, about 25% of Colorado voters aged 18-25 report using marijuana at least once per month, according to the National Survey on Drug Use.

Opposition groups are looking for any increase in cannabis use to buttress their calls for Amendment 64’s repeal. Kevin Sabet, executive director of Project Safe Approaches to Marijuana (or PSAM) a group in opposition to Colorado legalization, characterized the support of youth voters for marijuana legalization in the state as detrimental to their own health and well-being. Sabet is seeking mandatory drug reeducation for all pot users nationwide.
